CVS Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when CVS Pharmacy’s doors were locked and only security cameras watched over the empty aisles, a soft voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to their designated spots.’ A sleepy delivery driver, hearing the voice, slowly turned around and saw nobody. Smiling to himself, he thought, ‘Must be that old lady next door, always reminding everyone.’ The next morning, a neighbor found him still standing in front of CVS with an empty cart, muttering, ‘Ma’am, I’ll definitely put them back tomorrow.’

2. In the early hours of morning, a little boy walked into the deserted CVS Pharmacy. The automatic doors swished open as if greeting him, but no one else stirred in the quiet aisles. As he reached for a packet of chewing gum, an old alarm clock on the counter chimed softly. Startled, the boy turned around—and found himself face-to-face with a sleepy-eyed delivery driver who asked, ‘Hey kid, what time is it?’ The boy grinned and replied, ‘It’s showtime!’

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies were just unlocking their doors, an old man started visiting CVS Pharmacy. He’d quietly slip in through the side entrance, grab a bottle of aspirin, and leave without saying a word. One day, a delivery driver noticed him from his truck and waved hello. The old man nodded back with a mysterious smile, never breaking eye contact until he disappeared inside. From then on, whenever someone asked who the silent customer was, everyone at CVS would shrug and say, ‘Just our friendly neighborhood aspirin enthusiast.’

4. At closing time, when CVS Pharmacy’s employees had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every night, an empty shopping cart appeared in front of the pharmacy's entrance, as if someone had left it there deliberately. Curious, he followed the cart one night and found an old man sitting on a bench nearby, dozing off with his shopping list still clutched in his hand. The next morning, the pharmacy manager greeted him warmly, saying, ‘Welcome back, our overnight shopper!’
